All the Kentucky "ghost fiddlers" that are watching over us and whose fiddles you can still hear echoing through the valleys. Also, all those who are playing old time fiddle and banjo tunes today who have created the demand for an outlet so that their music can be heard.
July 25 & 26, 2008!
Performances by: KCTM old time band; John Haywood and Ponty's Camper; Kentucky Clodhoppers; Rich & the Po' Folks; Paul David Smith; Nikos Pappas, Jesse Wells & Brett Ratliff; Chance McCoy and The Fox Chase.

Talk about your extreme temperatrue swing, from freezing to sweat your a-- off, I think this date will be great, it only means the fans won't have to wait near as long to experience Morehead's premier festival!! I'll definately be there!!
You can count on it! Last year it conflicted with my 21st birthday and I was unable to get from my point of celebration to the convention. This year we won't be havin' that problem.
